      St Mary Magdalen Roman Catholic Church, Mortlake GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21

      St Mary Magdalen Roman Catholic Church, Mortlake, is a Roman Catholic church in North Worple Way, Mortlake, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The church is dedicated to Jesus' companion Mary Magdalene. It is located just south of Mortlake High Street and the Anglican St Mary the Virgin Church. St Mary Magdalen's Catholic Primary School is just north of the churchyard.
      The church building, in Gothic Revival style, was designed by Gilbert Blount, architect to the first Archbishop of Westminster, Nicholas Wiseman, and dates from 1852.


      History


      The church's first parish priest, Fr John Wenham, was a convert from the Oxford Movement, who had studied at Magdalen College, Oxford, and had been an Anglican army chaplain in Ceylon. He is buried in the churchyard.

      Burials


      The first burial took place in 1853 but records for burials in the churchyard only survive from 1892. Frances Margaret Taylor (1832–1900), who was founder of the Roman Catholic religious congregation the Poor Servants of the Mother of God, was buried in the churchyard. Her remains were transferred in 1959 to the chapel at Maryfield Convent, Roehampton. Over 80 sisters of the order are buried in the churchyard.
